http://www.reason.com/hod/jb022306.shtml Found this at The High Road. The Patriot Act *hack, spit* is being abused and misused even more these days. Went from "terrorism" cases only to drug, smuggling, and money laundering crimes, and it trumps up the charges on those. The water in the bowl is swirling faster and faster these days.

Job Hunt Work

The printer-connected computer at home is down for no apparent reason, so we're using my laptop as a backup. We call it the LEM, after the improvised lifeboat in Apollo 13. Anyway, I printed out a whole bunch of resumes at school today, and I'll drop them off at various places I've applied. Someone's got to hire me one of these days.

Gun Stuff

No cool gun stuff to report. Had a funky partial home invasion on Friday. Someone came into the house while I was home alone (I was in another room, away from the intruder), called out to see if anyone was home, and left. Scary and bizarre, and left me wishing I wasn't on the end of the house that didn't have the guns. I guess this was life free lesson on the value of locking your doors.

Lost

New episode of Lost this week. The 2nd season has been terrific in its own way, but I liked the first season better. I liked watching them peel back the first layer of mystery better than the second and third. IMO, the first season will go down as the best season of television ever.
